Just Another Body

Trudge through the mud,
Through the blood, grime, and bodies.
Watch, look, stay alert,Or you will just be another body.
One, two, three bodies


Crept down, barely awake,
Don’t fall asleep yet, your life’s at stake.
Up and over then you fall,
Still, quiet, unable to move, unable to speak.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred bodies



Watching friends fall, life leaving their eyes,
Bullets all around you, machine guns sounding.
Gas clouds approaching, no one can help,
Gas masks gone, everyone dead.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand bodies.



On your own, death is coming,
Close your eyes, hold your breath.
Pray to God, keep your hope, don’t loose the faith,
Think of something, think of anything.
Ten thousand, eleven thousand, twelve thousand bodies.



Lost your life, gained nothing,
Not going a step forward.
Falling two steps back,
No closer than before, no help in the right direction.
One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand bodies.



Just another soul,
Just another father, son, brother, husband,
Uncle, cousin, nephew, grandpa, friend.
Just another body.
Just one of nine million.
